Mum is well and truly pissed off with me moping around the house. "Brush yourself off and get on with life," she said as if it's all so simple.

If it really was so easy as getting up and carrying on with life wouldn't I be doing that already?

"Why don't you go out with the girls?"

But how could I go out when the top I'd wanted to wear was still at the bottom of the wash basket? That led to a bit of a meltdown on my part. In the end, I'd stomped up to bed to cuddle the 'World's Best Girlfriend' teddy bear while crying myself to sleep.

The stupid thing is, that I know mum's right, but if I go out there and attempt to get over Ben, then it's all so final isn't it? It's like I've given up hope that we might be able to come back from this. For all, I know Ben could be about to dial my number right now and tell me that he'd made a huge mistake, beg me to forgive him and take him back.

Ben didn't call me. He didn't tell me that he'd made a massive mistake that night in McDonald's car park. He hasn't begged me to forgive him or take him back.

Practically given up hope of ever getting a response to my letter in the Sun as well. Don't know who decides which problem needs sorting out first, but they want sacking. Couldn't they tell from my letter that I was on the edge of despair? I really needed their help, nevermind Bob in Bury St. Edmunds who had a fetish for washing up gloves I was f̶u̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ heartbroken!

They finally posted it. Just when I'd given up hope of my letter ever getting printed in the paper, there it was in black and white on page fifty-seven of the Dear Debbie section in the Sun.

I am so sorry to hear about your recent heartbreak, but things will be okay you can get through this.

I understand that after five years together the ending of a relationship where marriage was discussed has come as a huge shock, but sometimes people just fall out of love with each other. It's no one's fault, unfortunately, it is life; just one of those things sent to test us.

While you feel very knocked about by this break-up, please try to rebuild your self-esteem and get out there and have a good time. Lean on your family and friends, they only have your best interests at heart. Open up and tell them how you feel, they will help you overcome your heartache.

You will come out of this stronger and eventually as time goes by, you will meet someone else and look back on this experience as a learning curve.

For now, try and enjoy life as much as possible, and please take care of yourself.

Debbie
